Awww... come on, my club name is so much cooler! And it includes rally! lol

Yeah, but a GM 14-Bolt is going to hold up a lot better than a Subie diff. Hell, a Toyota 8" will probably hold up better. Welding the rear diff stresses the diff, axleshafts, and tires quite a bit when cornering.

I vote NWDirtySubie... oh wait, that's the club I'm starting. Why don't we merge? http://NWDirtySubie.webs.com

I'm going to keep my eye on this thread. I think I'm probably going to do most of the same to my own GL-10 wagon.

SJR makes an adapter plate and flywheel adapter for an EJ25 swap, but if I do an EJ25 swap, I'm going to do a manual trans swap, too. But I don't really need a lot of power, just a bit more than what I've got. I think a complete motor swap is a little overkill for my little GL

Can't find the beater 'Yota, but these might be of interest http://bellingham.craigslist.org/pts/1377626362.html The axles on this are fullsize, but cheap http://bellingham.craigslist.org/cto/1374710270.html And some Jeeps. I don't know about track width, but I'm sure they could work http://bellingham.craigslist.org/cto/1368633451.html http://bellingham.craigslist.org/cto/1352362543.html Can't remember if this generation of Trooper has a solid front axle or not, but here's a possibility http://bellingham.craigslist.org/cto/1374758360.html

There's a beater Yota 4x4 on Bellingham Craigslist. I'll see if I can find it.

Why don't you just embed the pics? I like the setup, probably what I'll do on mine.

I'd find a way to SAS the front, too, that'd be crazy-awesome.

Well that's what I'm afraid of. Not you getting bashed, that's your own problem to deal with. An old vehicle that can't take much boost. From the factory, the EA82T had 115 hp. I'd like to tune up the motor and get it to the condition where it's probably making that again, and then focus my efforts on getting 150 hp.

About how much boost can the stock EA82T internals take? And how about the auto transmission in my GL-10 waggy? I'd like to retro-fit a slightly larger turbo into the system, but I don't want to go overboard and melt a piston in the process. P.S. andysautosport.com doesn't seem to carry anything for the older Subies. Anyone know of a site like it that carries accessories for these cars?

Forgot to mention, it's the turbo model

I've heard some horror stories about welding Subie rear diffs. I believe the Lokka is an option. It's not a true locker, but it's better than nothing.

Definitely integrate. It'll look a lot cleaner.

I think the BRAT is the only one on that list that I actually like. lol

Hey, I just got a 1988 GL-10 wagon. Ok, so I won't have it until Sunday, but the deal has been finalized. I'm trading my old-school bmw plus a little bit of cash for it. It's in pretty good shape. It's maroon with gold-ish 13" rims. It's got FWD and full-time AWD. At one point, it had the auto leveling rear air suspension, but that got taken out. I'm going to tap the fuse box and make the auto level switch be a FWD/AWD toggle switch. Eventually, it'll get an SJR 4" lift and 27" tires, but that will be a ways off since I'm broke right now. The paint is pretty badly oxidized on the roof, so I'll probably camo it or paint it flat grey with WWII style shark mouths on the side, or something unique-yet-cool like that. Anywho, I'll get pics up on Sunday when I get it.
